Wedding Party
Lauren Swenson
Maid of Honor
If you would’ve asked Molly at 5 years old who her very best friend was, the answer would’ve been “Lauren” without any hesitation. If you asked her now at 26… The answer would be the same. Molly and Lauren are longtime best friends (21 years to be exact). They met at gymnastics and spent nearly the next decade in a gym attached at the hip. As Molly is an only child, Lauren quickly became her chosen sister. She frequently attended family vacations (including this very wedding location so if you need hotel info… she’s your girl!), woke up early on Christmas mornings just to get dropped off at Molly’s before she opened presents, and to this day will remember that Molly has a nut allergy before she does… Lauren has been there for each and every milestone, big or small. From cartwheels in the front yard to random trips across the world, their friendship has grown through every season of life. Lauren has been Molly’s confidante, her biggest cheerleader, and the kind of friend who shows up… ALWAYS. There was never a version of this wedding without her standing right beside the bride, just as she has for the past two decades. Molly feels incredibly honored to have Lauren as her Maid of Honor… and even luckier to have had her as a best friend for 21 beautiful years (and counting). 💌
Hayley Vaughn
Bridesmaid
Hayley and Molly’s college cheerleading journey began side by side. They started off quiet-natured and in a whole new world that moved fast, demanded confidence, and was almost always chaotic. College cheerleading is a whirlwind and takes some getting used to- But from that very first day, there was one thing they were absolutely certain of… Each other. They quickly fell in love with Trinity Valley and spent the next 3 years inseparable as teammates and roommates. From laying on the floor of their dorm room trying to cool down after 6am workouts, to Sunday laundry days or late-night Walmart runs… wherever there was Molly, there was Hayley. Their friendship began with two reserved rookies just trying to find their place in the chaotic world of college cheer; But very quickly it transformed into a lifelong bond rooted in trust, loyalty, and an unspoken understanding that they’d always have each others back. One of the things that Molly is most thankful for when it comes to TVCC… is that is brought her Hayley. 🥹
Caylee Odle
Bridesmaid
Caylee and Molly spent the last four years of their college cheerleading careers side by side. Molly was a sophomore when Caylee first arrived at TVCC, and their connection was instant- the nickname “Soul Sister” followed shortly after. When Molly made the sudden leap to transfer to Weber State, Caylee didn’t hesitate for a second. She became Molly’s biggest cheerleader, supporter, and safe place in a new state. Whether it was giving up her room so Molly had a place to stay, or acting as her personal chauffeur until her car arrived from Texas…. Caylee went above in beyond in any way she could. Through every long practice, hard day and the unforgettable wins, Caylee was a constant. She’s the kind of friend who loves without limits and gives without ever expecting anything in return. As their career in college cheerleading ended, what remained was something far deeper than sharing a mat or matching uniforms. A bond built on unconditional support: Growing pains, glory days, and cheering each other on through every life decision. Molly will always be thankful for the friendship, loyalty, and heart that Caylee brings into her life… Everyone deserves their very own “Soul Sister.” ✨
